Introduction : made mad: women, madness and national culture -- The intelligible madwoman -- Theorizing the madwoman: gender, madness and colonialism -- National identity and colonial paranoia in The man who loved children -- Cannibalism and colonialism: Lilian's story -- Dark places and the white nation: colonial manliness -- Conclusions: Australian psychoses.
This book rethinks women's madness through a rigorous analysis of colonial paranoia. Arguing that colonialism produces a distinct cultural expression of women's madness, this book contends that it is the male characters of the novels who exhibit symptoms of colonial paranoia, as inheritors and agents of the colonial enterprise.
